The Haven Design Academy

We have created this Academy to help YOU create a home that reflects how you and your family live. A COZY and FUNCTIONAL space where you feel PROUD to entertain. How We Haven STRONGLY BELIEVES the art of Interior Design can be learned.  WE know because we were in your shoes!  

So...We Get You! 

OUR GOAL in The Haven Design Academy is to teach YOU our 5-step process so you can decorate a room effortlessly, without being overwhelmed or frustrated.

 

 We want to know....

Are you feeling confused about your design style and how to reflect the "REAL YOU" within your home? Are you struggling  to achieve the perfect layout? Do you second guess yourself even picking simple paint colors? 

 Let's be HONEST this list could go on and on. 

BUT....

Wouldn't it FEEL nice to just TRUST YOURSELF? 

 Truthfully for us, we found it extremely frustrating because we wanted our homes to look like the photographs we saw on social media.  

We learned quickly....

The responsibility of "making a home" fell on US not our significant other! We were confused, hopeless and struggling to find time to make "the change"

WOW! You already GET ME! I'm in!

Here's the most affordable thing we've ever done...

We  managed to turn our outdated, non-cohesive rooms into enticing, elevated spaces.

SO, WHY NOT YOU? 

Are you... 

A DIY gal with lots of interesting ideas, a woman who loves design, or someone who knows she needs to make a change but does not want to hire an interior designer. 

All you need is a HELPING HAND

That's where we step in!

We have created THE HAVEN DESIGN ACADEMY to assist you in making positive changes in your home at a fraction of the cost to hiring an interior designer. 

But...before we dive deeper here's a little more about us

We started this Academy with one mission: educating and empowering busy deserving women.

We are Wendy and Lyndsay, a sisters-in-law duo with a passion for interior design and the founders of How We Haven, The Haven Design Academy and The Haven Society.

We are busy moms who live in New England with our families and dogs. Living in the northeast has allowed us to work on a diverse portfolio of homes and commercial projects.

When we are not decorating and designing we love spending time with our families and friends. We love afternoons at the beach during the summer months and traveling! We also love staying local heading to Boston for a great meal and a night of FUN!

We found pleasure working one-on-one with our clients BUT....we FELT a STRONG DESIRE for a change! 

 

We had a mind shift....it was simple

Here's WHY..

 

It has been OUR GOAL to HELP MORE deserving women make positive changes to their homes! 

 

As women, moms, caretakers WE ALL feel busy. We have limited time, resources, and energy for interior design.  We recognize that! 

What affects your mood?

 In a recent Houzz survey, 87 percent of the more than 6,000 respondents said that their home design impacts their overall happiness. So if you’ve remodeled or redecorated your home in the past two years, you might be among the 74 percent who say they are now happier at home as a result. Of those who describe their home as being “in need of work,” only 51 percent reported feeling happy
